Saints need a handful of new players to make sure of our survival. We need:

1. A new goalkeeper. Kelvin is getting to inconsistent and old, Paulo is also inconsistent and inexperienced, and Boruc is not good enough for Southampton. Kelvin or Paulo are not good enough on the bench so we need a new first team goalkeeper and a new keeper for the bench

2. A new central defender. Fonte is good enough, but Yoshida and Hooiveld make too many mistakes. Either are good enough for the bench but not to start.

3. A new left-back. Luke is great but too young and he may burn out as he is so inexperienced. Fox is not good enough to start but perhaps for the bench. Richardson is a good reserve but not for the bench or the first team.

4. A new winger. We have two good wingers, Lallana and Puncheon but we need Ramirez as central attacking midfield and if he gets injured then Lallana can move in the centre position, but Guly is not really good enough for starting there, neither is De Ridder, and Mayuka is too inexperienced.

5. A new striker. Rickie is very good at scoring and heading, but he has no pace. Rodriguez has good pace but isn't as good at scoring or heading. Mayuka is too inexperienced at the moment, Ramirez needs to play in central attacking midfield for us to do well. Guly is said to be a striker but I don't think is good enough as a striker and barely good enough as a winger. We need a striker who has good scoring ability, heading, spot kicks and pace.

I think they should both go to Championship sides to get experience as having experience at this level with their lack of experience could be a deterrent and could affect their playing and their attitudes. Jake Sinclair and Callum Chambers should join them on loan."
